Are you a new build developer looking at Solar PV for your developments?

New build programmes are the ideal time to install solar panels, and house builders and developers are embracing solar energy as a way to reduce their carbon footprint, be amongst the competition and meet the requirements of the Code for Sustainable Homes. Solar PV systems also provide a solid return on investment and attract potential buyers who are keen to control future energy costs.

The benefits of Solar PV for New Builds are:

Meet the requirements of Approved Document L1A which stipulates all new dwellings are to emit 25% less CO2 than those under previous Regulations.

Many building control authorities are now striving to work towards zero carbon homes
